PEST CONTROL NEW YORK CITY

Welcome To Our Pest Control and Extermination Site!

Pest Control New York City

Manhattan is home to about 1.65 million people. The population of pests such as
bedbugs, cockroaches, waterbugs, ants, fleas, spiders, bees, wasps,
termites, rats, mice, squirrels and other vermin is much larger than
that of humans and these pests cause vast amounts damage to infested
homes and the people residing there, both in money and psychological
trauma. Many commercial and industrial buildings have pest problems,
too.

Bedbugs in Manhattan

Bedbugs outbreaks in Manhattan have soared in recent years. Bedbugs are pests
that are unusually difficult to eradicate. The internet and home
improvement stores are filled with advice and products you can buy
that are “guaranteed” to rid your home of all bedbugs.
The problem is that many residents and business owners end up
spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on these products yet
continue to have their blood sucked by these vampire-like bedbugs
that endlessly infest the home or business.

Bedbugs do not respect income, cleanliness, class or type of residence or
business. Multi-million dollar penthouses can experience massive
bedbug infestations while the lowliest tenement has the same odds of
experiencing bedbug outbreaks. The uber-wealthy can experience bedbug
bites just as can the low-income family. Broadway theaters, 5-star
hotels and restaurants, hospitals and offices have even experienced
invasions of these horrible creatures.

What causes bedbugs to get into a home or business? These mainly nocturnal
insects can move from apartment to apartment under poorly fitting
door jambs, through cracks, even through electrical connections. They
are also famous hitchhikers. Someone gets out of a taxi, likely not
knowing a bedbug was on their clothing, and the bedbug is left in the
cab to attach itself to the next fare. Subways, trains, on-call car
services and buses are common transportation-related ways to carry
bedbugs into your home.

Anywhere the public gathers including theaters, schools, healthcare
facilities, libraries, restaurants, and stores are potential
locations to have the misfortune of having a bedbug hitchhike home
with you. Unfortunately, you may pick up a bedbug ready to lay eggs
and within a short time, you have a full blown terrifying infestation
of nocturnal blood-sucking bedbugs.

The Bedbug Report for Metro New York is an online registry used for
reporting bedbug invasions. It is interactive with a map that zooms
in on neighborhoods about which you want information regarding bedbug
problems. If you are considering moving, this is a great resource to
avoid areas of the densest bedbug populations where you would be more
likely to experience the stress and anxiety of a bedbug infestation.
You can also report your own bedbug issue.

While Manhattan landlords are legally responsible for bedbug extermination
in rented houses, apartments or commercial properties, there can be
problems getting the property owner to provide effective bedbug
control services or in getting neighbors to follow the steps required
to rid the location of bedbugs and maintain a bedbug-free
environment. If you own the property, you are responsible for all
bedbug eradication costs, no matter if you reside or do business at
the location or rent or lease the property to others for their use.

You are probably wondering how to get rid of bedbugs completely and
effectively. There is a way to rid your Manhattan home, office or
industrial property of bedbugs without the hassle of using tons of
potentially toxic do-it-yourself products that don’t end the
infestation. Pest Control New York City serves Manhattan and
surrounding boroughs with professional treatments that, along with a
few steps on your part to prevent reinfestation, will return your
home or office to the pleasant, happy place it was before the horror
of bedbugs moved into your space. Other pests are also reliably
eradicated, depending on your particular pest problems.

We are open seven days per week from 7 am to 7 pm so that we can easily
schedule a convenient time to inspect your home. Your pest control
professional will provide a price quote for the services you need and
begin treatment at your convenience.

Cockroach Invasions

There are two main species of cockroaches that invade homes and other
buildings in Manhattan. The American cockroach is the larger of the
two species, growing up to 1.5 inches or more. While they have wings,
they seldom fly. This species of cockroach prefers to come out at
night to feed and can survive on many food sources. They love food
left uncovered, crumbs, unwashed dishes but can also consume the glue
from book bindings, leaf mulch and decaying food of any type. The
females lay eggs frequently, quickly making a small infestation
become overwhelming in a short time. American cockroaches can be
brought into the building in cardboard boxes, used furniture or books
and paper grocery bags. They also enter through cracks, doors left
ajar and can readily migrate from neighboring apartments.

German cockroaches are smaller in size, growing to only 0.5 inches in length
at adulthood. This species of cockroach is not afraid to be seen in
daylight but will scatter quickly when a threat is perceived. These
pests eat the same things as American cockroaches and come into your
home in the same variety of ways as American cockroaches.

If you have a cockroach colony, you are wondering how to get rid of
cockroaches in your home or business and how to get rid of the
cockroaches fast. The first step is to have a professional pest
control expert from Pest Control New York, Inc. treat your home or
commercial site. You may want to set up a repeating schedule for
monthly or quarterly treatments for cockroaches.

After your space is treated for cockroaches, prevent further outbreaks by
keeping the kitchen and eating areas crumb-free and cover all food
that is not in a sealed package. Empty trash every day and, if your
cockroach problem is difficult to eradicate, keep your trash
container outside your door where practical. Carefully inspect any
used furnishings and avoid collecting large numbers of books. Books
can be passed on for others to enjoy. Fill any cracks or gaps where
these insects may enter and be sure your door jamb has a bottom sweep
that leaves no crack for entry.

Cockroaches do not bite but many people, both children and adults, are fearful or
even phobic about them. While cockroaches do not carry any disease,
their lifestyle results in bacteria coming into your residence or
business with them. This could cause potential health risks.

Pest Control New York City, Inc., uses effective but safe insecticides and
growth regulator products to remove your cockroach invasion. Their
work is guaranteed for up to 45 days. Call for a price estimate and
to schedule a site visit from one of our trained experts pest control
pros so a written price quote for your property can be provided and
treatment scheduled. We work seven days per week so it is easy to
contact us for a convenient home inspection appointment.

Waterbugs

Waterbugs enjoy living on the water where they stay afloat by using each of
their six legs as a paddle. They look like oversize cockroaches but
are not a species of roach. They are capable of short flights.

When there is no readily available source of water, these nuisances will
find cracks and crevices through which to enter your home or business
to seek out water. They tend to invade wet or damp areas such as sink
drains, bathtub drains, drips from any leaky pipes and plant saucers
that collect water when too much water is provided to the plant.

Pest Control New York City will gladly provide safe, effective treatments
to rid your space of waterbugs. Prices are affordable so don’t
put up with these invaders; call today to obtain an estimate and
arrange a visit for a firm quote and treatment. You’ll be glad
you chose trained experts to quickly rid your home or business of
water bug infestations. We are open seven days per week from 7 am to
7 pm so call today to schedule a home visit.

Ants

There are over 12,000 classified species of ants, however, the answer to
the common query asking how many ant species live in New York is only
about 42 species are found in Manhattan ant infestations. Most of the
42 species commonly seen by Pest Control New York City professionals
live outdoors, under and around structure foundations and other
locations where residents do not encounter them, even though they may
be damaging the structure or landscaping. Only a few ant species
invade the interiors of Manhattan residences or commercial buildings.
Most often these small colony pests sneak into a building through
cracks, doorways, around windows or invade from neighboring
apartments.

Ants are capable of communicating, making it appear as if the colony is
controlled by a single brain telling each colony member what to do.
While these pests do have means of communications, their
communications are accomplished through movements, scent trails and
other means still being researched.

On September 2, 2012, New York Times published an article written by
Annie Kami appeared announcing “Biologists studying six-legged
New Yorkers have discovered a never-before-seen breed of the
prehistoric insect living in the Broadway medians at 63rd and 76th
streets.” Further, the articles revealed, “Researchers
believe the “ManhattAnt” — which has not yet been
given an official scientific name — may have evolved due to its
isolation in the concrete jungle, where it has adapted to a warmer,
drier urban environment.”

Many species of ants can sting or bite but only a few species have enough
venom to be more than simply annoying for the vast majority of
victims. There is one major exception; a reaction allowing a single
ant bite or sting can be deadly. If a person is severely allergic to
ant venom, a reaction can occur that is so severe the victim will
likely die unless special medication is injected within minutes.
Extreme allergic reactions of this nature are known as anaphylactic
shock, causing the throat to swell closed resulting from an inability
to breathe.

The most destructive outdoor ant species in Manhattan is the carpenter
ant. These pests, as their name indicates, like to burrow into wood,
creating long trails of removed wood to create their homes and nests.
When a large invasion attacks a wooden structure, the wood’s
strength becomes compromised. In the worst invasions of carpenter
ants in Manhattan, structures built mainly or partially of wood can
reach a point of collapse or near collapse. Other structures can
require costly repairs. In some cases, carpenter ants can appear
inside structures and may build nests there but are often only
foraging for food if there are cracks and crevices to provide handy
entrances and exits since they do not actually eat wood. They prefer
to build their nests in damp, dark spaces such as around leaky
plumbing or where wood is left in a pile. When outdoor colonies
become overcrowded they are most likely to add additional colonies
inside the home.

Inside your Manhattan home, ant species may build nests. The most common
types of ants to nest in your residence are the odorous house ants,
pharaoh ants, and pavement ants. It is very important to know exactly
which ant species is causing an invasion because some types react
differently than others to certain do-it-yourself products and can
actually cause the ants to create more nests instead of being
eradicated. Because ant nests each have one or more queen ants
capable of producing eggs, unless the queen or queens are located and
erased from the home, any home treatment will only provide very
short-term relief.

The best way to get rid of ants living inside your home or nesting
outside your home is to contact the bonded and insured trained
professionals at Pest Control New York City, Inc., to have a pest pro
visit your location so that he or she can identify your infestation,
explain effective treatments and perform the needed treatments. Call
or email us today to schedule a visit from one of our licensed and
bonded professionals.

Fleas

Fleas are small blood-sucking insects that can plague Manhattan homes or
building. They are mainly found in locations where dogs, cats, and
rats live, but there is also a species known as the “human
flea” that can infest homes where no pets are present.

Today there are treatments to prevent fleas from attacking pet dogs and cat
and even birds, but feral birds, canines and felines are often
covered with these vermin.

Most responsible pet owners use monthly vet-prescribed easy to apply
treatments that are extremely effective for keeping fleas off pets
and therefore out of the home.

In some cases, apartments or houses can become infested with fleas
because a previous resident had pets with fleas and flea eggs may be
lefts in the structure as well as live fleas. Even though no pet
resides there to act as a food source for the existing or hatching
fleas, these pests will feed on human blood.

Flea bites are itchy and annoying for most people. However, some humans
have allergic reactions to flea bites. These reactions can range from
welts that can lead to infections up to severe reactions that cause
anaphylactic shock requiring immediate life-saving medical attention.

Fleas move through the fur of mammals and the hair of humans by flattening
themselves. Therefore, you can get flea bites anywhere on your body.
If your pet has fleas, they will experience severe itching and
scratch the bites.

Getting rid of fleas is important because they can carry disease. Typhus
fever and tapeworms are just two of the serious diseases that can be
caused by flea bites.

If your home or commercial building has a flea infestation, you need
professional help to completely rid the flea plague. Most retail
products that you can buy are not effective. Pest Control New York
City can determine how extensive your flea infestation is and advise
you of available effective treatments that are affordable and
effective. In some cases, several treatments may be required to
ensure that hatching eggs left from the fleas do not reinfest the
locations. Contact us for a free home inspection.

Spiders

Spiders are predators that hunt down insects or other spiders as food. They
infect a venom into the prey that turns it into liquid, allowing the
spider to consume the prey through a small proboscis. These pests
cannot chew their food, only suck the liquefied portion of the prey.

All true spiders are members of the arachnids family. Phobia of spiders
is one of the most common phobias and is experienced by millions of
people. Some anacrophobics are so severe that even the thought of the
possibility of a spider being nearby can set off a severe panic
attack. Seeing an image online or in a publication can also set off a
panic attack in those with serious anacraphobia.

There are over 40,000 species of spiders classified today but scientists
think there may be as many as 200,000 species. Remote jungle areas
likely contain spiders that have not been identified.

Spiders only bite humans if they are pinched in some way. A common way to get
a spider bite is to roll over onto one in your bed. Most spider venom
is not toxic enough to humans to be more than a minor annoyance but
there are two major exceptions.

Recluse spiders, especially the brown recluse that is often found in wood or
piles of discarded wood, has a venom that can cause a serious
reaction, causing flesh around the bite to die and requiring medical
attention. Members of the widow family of spiders, the best known
being the black widow, is another spider that has venom that causes a
serious reaction in humans and other animals. If either of these
types of spiders is seen in your home, immediate action to
exterminate the infestation is required.

Fox News recently reported that celebrity Howard Stern, a Manhattan
resident, found a brown recluse in his kitchen sink. Other Manhattan
residents have found brown recluses in their homes, sometimes in
large numbers.

If you find spiders in your Manhattan home or building, especially
poisonous ones, you must immediately reach out for professional help.
Spiders can be difficult to kill with sprays available to the public.

Pest Control New York City has the professional grade products as well as
the knowledge to identify your exact type of spider invasions. They
will discuss treatment plans with you as well as costs and schedule a
visit to properly eradicate your Manhattan spider invasion. Contact
Pest Control New York seven days per week from 7 am to 7 pm to
schedule a home inspection.

Bees

In Manhattan, as all around the world, bees are important to the
environment. They are insects related to ants and wasps but are
critical in pollinating plant blossoms. If there were no bees in the
world, food would not be produced as easily. While some other insects
and certain birds do help pollinate blossoms of beautiful flowers and
nutritious vegetable plants, bees do most of the work.

While feeding on nectar of blossoms, pollen gets on the hairy body parts of
various species of bees. When the same bee travels to another blossom
of the same species of plant to continue feeding, pollen is felt
behind, allowing the plant to produce flowers, vegetable, nuts and
other food for both humans and wildlife.

Bees will sting humans but usually only if disturbed. For most people, the
sting is a painful annoyance but some people have life-threatening
allergic reactions to bee stings that require the immediate injection
of a prescription medication or other medical intervention to prevent
the death of the person who experienced the sting. If a person
disturbs a swarm of bees, even if they are not highly allergic, the
number of stings can cause a serious medical issue and professional
help must be sought as soon as possible.

One of the most recognizable and well-known bee species is the honey bee.
These bees take pollen left on their bodies back to the hive to feed
the queen bee. The queen produces royal jelly on which her hatching
baby bees can feed.

Spring and summer are the times of year when bees are most commonly seen
flying around Manhattan. This is because of the numerous outdoor
plants in bloom. When the temperature drops below 50 degrees F, the
bees go into a part of the hive near the center where it is warmer.
They cluster around the queen to ensure she stays warms. They rotate
position and their shivering creates warmth for the entire hive to
survive the cold weather.

Bees become a pest control problem in Manhattan in cases where a landscape
contains many blooming plants or when they build their hive inside
the walls of a structure. Whether the structure is residential,
commercial or industrial, sometimes a hive will use the space between
the exterior walls and interior walls to build their hive. In the
case of honey bees, the hive can be extensive and include several
different walls spaces.

If you notice an unusual number of bees of any species swarming around
your property, or if you see them entering or exiting your building,
you should contact Pest Control New York City for an on-site
inspection to determine where you bee problem is located and what
needs to be done to free you from the bees inhabiting your property
or structure. Because Pest Control NYC is concerned about your safety
as well as the safety of the environment, you will be advised of
treatment options that will protect you will not overkilling the bee
population in your city.

For your convenience, contact Pest Control NYC any day of the week
between the hours of 7 am and 7 pm to schedule your site visit.
You’ll be quoted an exact price for treatment and advised if
repeat treatments are recommended based on the species of bee and
extent of your pest population.

Wasps

Wasps are often confused with bees because they are often similar in size
and coloring. They are related to ants and bees but are an entirely
different type of insect. Three species of wasp that most people
recognize are hornets, yellowjackets, and dirt or mud daubers.

Wasps play a role in pollinating plants but they are also beneficial for
controlling other pests. They eat insects, spiders, beetles and
similar bugs that people find annoying. They will sting humans if
threatened but people that have a serious allergy to their sting
require medical attention or death may ensue. Because their stings
can be painful even to those people who do not have an allergy to
their venom, they become pests when too many congregate in or around
your home or property.

Wasps, especially dirt daubers, can build their nests under the eaves of
buildings, in attics, in or around outdoor storage buildings and in
landscaping. When they overpopulate and become an annoyance or danger
to you or your family, it is time to call Pest Control New York City
for help with your Manhattan wasp infestation. After a careful
inspection of your property, you’ll be provided information
about the cost and recommended treatment to free your home or
property of these pesky insects.

Termites

Termites in Manhattan are often mistaken as flying ants but are actually
related to cockroaches. Because the termite body looks quite
ant-like, often people ignore them thinking they are simply some sort
of special ants they’ve never seen before.

Manhattan structures containing or built of wood are havens for destructive.
Millions of dollars of damage is done each year by these insects that
consume wood. Even if your building or home does not look like a
wooden construction, the beams, joists, flooring and other parts that
are covered with finished products, termites can lurk unseen while
destroying the wood supporting the building. They can bore into
wooden furniture and decorative items. They consume plant structure
at any level of deterioration, even attacking dead or dying trees.

Termites can easily move from building to building as their nest spread to
vast sizes. To prevent termite outbreaks, smart property owners and
managers have buildings inspected and preventative treatments to
prevent infestation performed on a regular basis. Of course, in the
process of purchasing a property, a termite inspection is required
before a mortgage can be closed.

Once a major termite attack has begun, expensive treatments that include
tenting and treating the entire house or building may be the only
solution. All termite infested wood must be removed by skilled
professionals and replaced with new, undamaged wood. This can be
expensive and a hassle since vacating the property is required during
the toxic full-structure treatment process.

Pest Control New York City will perform a site check to determine if there
are any signs of termites and, if an infestation is found, explain
the process and cost of eradication. If there are no termites found,
preventative treatment is affordable and a great tool for homeowners
and owners of commercial or industrial structures that contain wood
can be discussed and scheduled so that the structure never needs
expensive tent treatments to save the structure.

Mice,Rats, Squirrels and Other Vermin

In densely populated areas like Manhattan, mice, rats, squirrels and
other vermin can become a real problem. With plenty of refuse
containers, litter, and other easy food foraging sources, it’s
easy for these vermin and others to live a posh life.

Manhattan is among the 10 cities with the highest rodent and vermin
infestations. Since mice are small, they can easily hide in your home
without your knowledge, eating into boxed foods and invading your
trash cans for food. Rats are larger, some even huge, and are more
likely to be noticed by residents. They can build nests in your
basement, attic or even chew through the drywall in areas behind
stored items and get into walls. Squirrels are smart and can find
attic screens that are loose, spaces around pipes so home maintenance
is important to keep these destructive rodents from entering your
home.

All rodents can carry disease and are a danger to your family. Vermin
phobias are also very common causing significant stress for
residents.

No matter whether your Manhattan location has mice, rats, squirrels or
other vermin, Pest Control New York City knows the best ways to
resolve your unwelcomed visitors and eradicate them effectively. In a
building where apartments are crowded together, cooperation from
neighbors can help you prevent reinfestation and our pest control
pros can help them with their problems, too.
